Introduction

The intersection between race and environmental justice has never been more apparent. As more vulnerable communities bear the brunt of climate change, how can climate journalism reflect their experiences? In this episode, we spoke with Dana Amihere, founder of AfroLA News, and Melba Newsome, a freelance journalist focused on environmental justice issues. The duo take us behind the scenes by sharing how they cover these issues. We also hear what data sources help them to find stories and inform their climate reporting.
